Live Oak Island Holidays

COVID-19 has changed how the world works in so many ways, including how and where we travel. The following tips will help you understand the new challenges and get you ready for your journey to Live Oak Island:

• Before you book a flight, see if any travel bans or restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
• You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. Be ready to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked.
• Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for scanning.
• Remove personal items from your pocket, such as your wallet, coins and keys, and put them in your carry-on instead of into bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
